This invention relates generally to eleotric holders for'indirectlighting and more particularly to a holder provided withja object beingto provide a device by means of which the holder can be attached to asocket already wired to a zitnre, thus time and labor.

With this object in view my invention consists essentially in providinga' separable socket shell holder together with means forv securing thesections together, Isaid sections having the shade holding meansattached thereto.

The invention consists also in certain deof construction hereinafterdescribed.

and pointed out in the claims.

ln the drawings forming a part of this specification Figure l is asectional elevation illustrating theparticular application of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a View of the separable socket shell holderseparated, and F ig. 3 is a detail view showing the same `arranged l:about-.the socket and shell.

se y,

ln thisy class of devices heretofore ein 4ployed it has been impossibleto attach the holden-without. wiring in the socket on the 'istureafterward, but this was very inconvizifiient and consumed considerabletime and labor and with the idea of overcoming this defect l produce aseparable socket shell holder A divided longitudinally as shown, saidsections'being so shaped and sized that when brought together theyprovide a complete cover for the socket shell. At the upper ond ampleprovision is made forthe socket bushing and at the lower ends thesections are provided with mating or continuous' threads to receive a'threaded ring B after lthe socket and shell has been inserted in theholder for the purpose of binding the holder upon the 4socia-et andshell. Arms Cv 4extend from the sections of the separable holder and attheir lower ends' are connected to an. inner .dish L, which dish l?? ispro vided with. a centrally extending threaded Specification of LettersPatent.

saving both annotare nominal opening of the shade or glassware and theouter cup F fits upon the under side thereof and a nut Gr screwed uponythey extending end of the threaded4 post securely bindsthe shade orglassware between the inner disk and outer cup. i

In Fig. 1 of the drawing I have shown the socket of the keyless type,but in Fig. 3 l haveshown the socket provided with a pull chain and itwill therefore be readily understood that my improvement can be used inconnection with any of the well known forms of socketsnow in use.

When it is desired to attach .my device to the socket it is onlynecessary to unscrew the ring and separate `the sections suilicientlytoit-ako the socket therebetween and the ring is then tightened upsecurely fastening the socket within the holder and preventing anypossible dislocation ofthe same. The glassware can be attached eitherbefore or after connecting tothe socket.

The ease and rapidity w-ith yhich this device can be attached to socketsalready ywired and connected to fixtures renders this improvement highlyimportant and elicient.

lt will thusibe seen that I provide a novel construction of holdercapable of carrying out all of the objects hereinbefore `referred to. 4

What I claim is l. A. separable shell forming a socket holder,armsextending from sections of the holder, and shadeholding meansattached t the opposite ends of said arms.

2. A separable shell 'forming a socket f holder., arms extending fromsections of the holder, shade holding means attached to the oppositeends of said arms and a ring for clamping the sections of shell fholdertogether.

3., A longitudinally divided holder adapted to receive .a socketshelltherebetween, a Iclamping ring adapted to fit about said holder andclamp the sections together, arms extending from said sections, andshade holding means attached to theopposite ends of-said arms. s

fl. A socket yor shell holder formed of longitudinally separablesections, a ring -for clamping said parts together, v*arms extendingfrom said separable sections, an inner dish connected to saidfarms, andan `outer cup or disk and means for connecting said disks together andholding a shade therebetween.

5. A socket or shell holder formed of 1ongitudinally separable sections,threaded at one end,`a threaded ring for binding Said sections together,arms connected to said seetions, an inner disk connected to the oppositeends of said arms, an outer cup or disk and means for uniting said diskand cup and securing a shade therebetween.

6. A. socket or shell holder formed of longitudinally separablesections, a ring for bindingsaid sections together about. a socket, armsconnected tosaid sections. :m inner disk connected to ,the opposite endsof said arms, said inner disk having a centrally extended threaded post,an outer cup through which the threaded post extends and a nut securedupon the extended thread end and binding' the inner and outer diskstogether as set forth.
